tnwalkinghorse Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 I already know how to add a page number to every page, but is there a way to add a date to every page for the entire year? Quote

walt.farrell Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 And then, presumably, Thursday, January 2nd, 2020 for the next page, etc.? In that case, as far as I know, you cannot do that with Publisher or any of the Affinity applications.

That's correct, such as we can do with page numbers on the master page...then add more pages and the page number will follow. Quote

Yes, generate the list in Excel with one line per date Create a text frame on page 1 of your document just tall enough to hold one line of text Paste your Excel text into that text frame (modify the text frame height to ensure it shows just one line of text, if need be) Zoom into the text frame and Shift-Click the right--hand side red triangle to autoflow the hidden lines of text onto 365 additional pages You can also put the text frame on a master page, where the procedure is slightly different but if on a master page it will also allow you to change certain things (such as the position of the text frame on all pages) after you generate all the pages. If unsure what to do just practice on a normal page first walt.farrell 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
